    Unami Yumminess

    Thankfully the only wars raging in Minnesota include Japanese beetles vs. everyone’s garden and who serves the best Juicy Lucy. I suppose I could name a few other feuds (best twin city, best new food at the fair, best food on the Green Line, etc.), but I’m here to talk about the best cheeseburger in…

  • Be Nimble with Social Media–Make the Snowstorm Work for You!

    The view from St. Paul–specifically St. Catherine University looks a lot like this today. Although I wish the sidewalks around the neighborhood were as clean as the ones in Teresa Boardman‘s photo below–I trudged through a lot of deep snow to get to campus. Minnesotans seem to be natural innovators who can spend an hour…

  • Day Eleven of the Daily Dozen: Small Business Saturday: November 26th, 2011: Stuff for Guys

    For this post, I queried the guys in my life to find out where they shop. The biggest surprise? My husband.

  • Making Art with Social Media

    I think I need to start making a list of items, services, pastimes, etc. that use social media to their benefit. So far in this blog I have talked about: Restaurants (www.grovelandtap.com) Dry Cleaners (www.andersoncleaners.net/) Music (www.jayhawksofficial.com/) Plants (www.friendsschoolplantsale.com) Now, let’s add Making Art to the list. One of my favorite art blogs is written…

  • People Just Need a Reason to…

    People Just Need a Reason to Go Out, to Buy, to Visit, to Shop:  That’s my theory of local retail and dining. Here’s where it’s worked for me (and Minneapolis/St. Paul businesses) in 2010. Groveland Tap’s “Save the Nook Saturday” – Backstory:  the venerable Nook burger shop on Hamline  Avenue was gutted by fire on…
